Indiana's Sex Offender Website
With the rash of child abductions, there has been a push for families to know where sex offenders live. On several news programs it was reported that a simple way to find the sex registry in your state is to do a search on google.com or yahoo.com. When you do the search just type in your state followed by the words "sex offender" The first or second search result should be your states site.
I performed the search and found http://www.indianasheriffs.org/default.asp as the site for Indiana. When I preformed a seach only putting in Newburgh, I was a little surprised to find 20 sex offenders here. So, for all of you with children, DO THIS ! It pays to know, ignorance is not bliss in this instance. This does not take the place of parental supervision, but it will allow you to know if you should be concerned with your neighbors. Does this mean you go off and confront or ostracize, NO. Just knowing will allow you to make the decision on what limits you place on your childs play area and who they should or shouldn't hang around. Be proactive and bookmark your states website to check periodically. Sex offenders live a transient(move a lot) lifestyle.

Wow, Evansville has a lot. Wish they had street names for them.
If you use the indiana sheriff's site, you can enter street names around your home to check on proximity of sex offenders living near you - at least where their last recorded address is listed. Remember as John said though, most are transient
